And Durant could bench press 12 pounds in college, weak.
Draft Royce or Barnes?

He still is "weak", but strength wasn't the core of his game.

He was no Granville Waiters.
Is that a Trailblazer and an OSU knock all in one sentence? haha

This is why a player like Marble can be 1st team all Big 10 next year. There are effective players that do things well and don't have the bulked up body...are pretty lean.

you do realize that Ed Horton like to beat up on 12 year olds and ummm, yeah wrestlers.

Strength isn't the core of Marble's game, just like it wasn't for Durant.
But Durant was far more talented. For crying out loud, he's the second-best player in the NBA these days.

I didn't participate in this thread awhile back, but I certainly enjoyed reading all the way through it. As I was reading I was wondering to myself... "Is RocknRoll gonna have the cajones to admit he was completely wrong?"
So I went from having little to no respect while reading your opinion on Barnes to gaining a lot of it back because you at least returned to acknowledge you were wrong. Props to you for that. Maybe basketball scouting just isn't your strong suit.
On a side note, Royce White has been nothing but a joke. Guy either needs to man up and start flying or crawl away in a hole and keep his mouth shut.
Actually if you read Bill Simmons or other NBA guys at that time there were a lot of concerns about his durability due to some weird body issues with him, including one of his legs being 1.5 inches longer than the other. That has oftentimes lead to recurring injury problems.

The kid seems to have pretty serious mental health issues. The brain is an organ that doctors barely understand and there are all kinds of things that can go haywire. I personally wish Royce the best and don't see any humor in one liners about this guy's situation. Each one of us is an infection, incurable disease (like Alzheimers) or head trauma away from becoming "crazy" and I thank my lucky stars that I have a reasonably well functioning brain.

I see no humor in my remark. It is the truth, there some ways to control bat crap crazy, but it is not cured. Interact closely with these people and one understands that, hence you cant fix crazy.

I think by calling someone with a known and disclosed mental illness "crazy" you were trying to get a chuckle. It isn't funny. Royce has been up front about his anxiety issues and I feel bad for the guy and would never call him crazy.
This is crazy: (NSFW language)

Yawn.
White was a more talented player Imo, the fact that he turned out to be nuts proves nothing at all.
Harrison Barnes did turn out to be better than I thought but not by much, hes still an average nba player at best.
